When password is not set as a mandatory patron field, it should not be
required. 

To test:
- make sure BorrowerMandatoryField is empty and doesn't list password
- add a new patron, leave password fields empty
- try to save - you will be forced to enter a password with the field now being
highlighted as required.

I have also tried changing  RequireStrongPassword and emptying
minPasswordLength.

Often libraries will leave password and username empty for patrons that won't
ever use the OPAC. For example when they are not using the OPAC functionalities
in general or for internal users. Making the password mandatory is a regression
to former behaviour.
